  2. Patient with cataracts
  3. Patient with retinal detachment
19
Q

This test allows the view into the fundus of the eye:

A

Ophthalmoscopy

20
Q

What can be seen using an ophthalmoscope?

A

  • Optic disc
  • Optic blood vessels
  • Fundus
  • Macula
21
Q

Describe the procedure for an Ophthalmoscopy

A
  • Darken room to dilate the pupil

- Move the ophthalmoscope in from 12-15 inches away and move to the side of patient’s line of vision

22
Q

Name 2 candidates for an ophthalmoscopy:

A
  1. Patients in for a routine exam

2. Patient with Glaucoma

23
Q

What test might one see “optic disc cupping” ?

Ophthalmoscopy (a patient with Glaucoma)

24
Q

In a patient with glaucoma, the optic disc cup gets _____.

a. smaller
b. larger

A

b. larger

25
Q

This test quantifies vision loss associated with light scatter:

A

Glare Testing

26
Q

Glare testing can be done for patients who have trouble with what kind of vision issues?

A

Driving at night or in the rain because of the glare it can cause coming from headlights

27
Q

Name 1 candidate for Glare testing:

c. IOP testing
d. Slit Lamp Test

A

d. Slit Lamp test

29
Q

Name 4 candidates for a Slit lamp test:

A

Patient with:

  1. Cataracts (to see white/opaque lens)
  2. Retinal detachment
  3. Glaucoma (to distinguish between open angle and closed angle)
  4. Macular degeneration
30
Q

What does IOP stand for?

A

Intraocular Pressure

31
Q

IOP Testing uses what device to measure the IOP?

34
Q

An increase in IOP could be indicative of what onset?

A

Glaucoma (silent disease)

35
Q

This device is the gold standard for IOP testing:

A

Goldman’s applanation tonometer

36
Q

The two instruments that are currently being used for IOP testing are:
